flydubai joins with Aegean, ITA, Air China, China Eastern and several other major airlines across Germany, Italy, Greece, Spain, Vietnam and China to expand its global travel reach and offer passengers seamless access to more than 120 destinations worldwide. The Dubai-based carrier’s latest move marks a bold step in strengthening its interline network, giving travellers one-ticket connectivity and through-checked baggage across continents. By partnering with Europe’s and Asia’s leading airlines, flydubai is not only widening its route map but also reshaping how travellers connect between Dubai and key global markets. The initiative reflects the airline’s ongoing mission to make international travel more efficient, connected, and accessible through strategic global partnerships.
Dubai-based airline flydubai has taken another major step in widening its international footprint by announcing seven new interline agreements, increasing its total partnerships to more than 40. This latest expansion reinforces the carrier’s position as one of the region’s fastest-growing airlines, opening up seamless access to over 120 new destinations across Europe, the Far East, and Southeast Asia.
A Growing Network of Global Collaborations
The new interline arrangements link flydubai with Aegean Airlines, ITA Airways, Air China, China Eastern Airlines, Hainan Airlines, Sichuan Airlines, and Myanmar Airways International. Together, these strategic partnerships dramatically expand flydubai’s reach beyond its existing network of 135 destinations—unlocking connectivity to over 300 global cities when combined with its codeshare and interline allies.
Under these new agreements, passengers can now book single-ticket itineraries with through-checked baggage, ensuring a smooth and simplified journey. The initiative highlights flydubai’s long-term commitment to delivering convenient and cost-efficient travel for leisure and business flyers alike.
Seamless Access Across Europe with Aegean and ITA Airways
For travellers headed to Europe, flydubai’s collaboration with Greece’s flagship carrier Aegean Airlines and Italy’s national airline ITA Airways offers access to more than 30 destinations across the continent. Passengers flying from Dubai can now connect to major European hubs such as Amsterdam, Athens, Brussels, Frankfurt, Madrid, Munich, Thessaloniki, Turin, and Venice.
This partnership creates a convenient bridge between the Middle East and Europe, providing tourists and business travellers with better travel options and flexible flight schedules. The move also strengthens Dubai’s position as a global aviation hub linking Asia, Africa, and Europe.
Expanding into the Far East and Southeast Asia
Beyond Europe, flydubai’s agreements with leading Chinese carriers—including Air China, China Eastern, Hainan, and Sichuan Airlines—along with Myanmar Airways International, offer access to more than 90 destinations across the Far East and Southeast Asia.
These include key cities such as Beijing, Chongqing, Hangzhou, Ho Chi Minh City, Shanghai, and Yangon, enhancing connectivity for both tourism and trade. The cooperation reflects growing demand for travel between Asia and the Middle East and is expected to boost inbound visitor numbers to Dubai.
Unlocking More Destinations for Holidaymakers
Through its extensive partnership network, flydubai continues to diversify its route map, offering passengers easy access to some of the world’s most attractive holiday destinations. Travellers can now fly conveniently to AlUla, Basel, Krabi, Ljubljana, Mombasa, Muscat, Nairobi, Penang, Prague, Tashkent, the Red Sea, and Zanzibar.
These destinations underline the airline’s mission to make emerging tourism hotspots more accessible, especially for travellers from the Middle East, Europe, and Asia seeking unique leisure experiences.
Onboard Comfort and Modern Fleet Experience
flydubai operates a modern fleet of 95 Boeing 737 aircraft, featuring advanced technology and fuel-efficient design. Onboard, passengers can enjoy a refined travel experience tailored for both Business Class and Economy Class customers.
In Business Class, flyers experience lie-flat seats, gourmet-inspired dining, and personalised service designed to ensure privacy and comfort on every journey. Economy Class travellers benefit from ergonomically designed seats, adjustable leather headrests, and a variety of entertainment options—making even long-haul flights comfortable and engaging.
flydubai’s inflight entertainment system offers hours of on-demand content, including international films, music, and TV series. Passengers can also choose from internationally inspired menus featuring freshly prepared dishes that reflect the airline’s global network.
Strengthening Dubai’s Role as a Global Hub
This wave of new partnerships further cements Dubai’s strategic role as an international transit hub. With these alliances, travellers flying into Dubai can now connect easily to secondary cities across Europe and Asia without the need for multiple separate bookings.
The partnerships are also expected to contribute to Dubai’s tourism growth targets by improving accessibility and promoting multi-destination travel itineraries. For instance, a traveller from Europe could now fly to Dubai, enjoy a city stay, and then continue onward to destinations like Krabi or Yangon—all on a single ticket.
Booking Made Simple
flydubai has made it easy for passengers to book these new interline flights. Tickets are available through flydubai.com, the partner airlines’ websites, as well as travel agents and online travel agencies worldwide. This multichannel approach allows passengers to customise their travel journeys while enjoying integrated ticketing and baggage services.
By offering transparent pricing and coordinated schedules with partner airlines, flydubai ensures smoother connections and shorter layovers—meeting the needs of today’s fast-paced travellers who value both convenience and reliability.
Paving the Way for Future Growth
The airline’s CEO has previously outlined flydubai’s strategic vision to build a comprehensive network of global partners. These seven new interline agreements reflect the next phase of that vision—strengthening the carrier’s global presence and reinforcing its reputation for connectivity and innovation.
As international travel continues to rebound, flydubai’s expanded partnership portfolio positions it strongly to capture growing demand in both business and leisure markets. With a combination of competitive fares, enhanced connectivity, and a comfortable onboard experience, the airline continues to bridge markets and people across continents.
A Milestone for Regional Aviation
With more than 40 interline agreements now in place, flydubai stands among the Middle East’s most connected carriers. The airline’s approach—based on collaboration rather than competition—illustrates how regional airlines can expand their reach without massive fleet expansion.
Each new partnership not only strengthens flydubai’s operational network but also enhances the travel ecosystem for passengers, making global travel more accessible, efficient, and enjoyable.
As flydubai continues to scale its operations and form strong alliances across continents, passengers benefit from unmatched connectivity and convenience. Whether heading to Europe’s cultural capitals or Asia’s bustling metropolises, travellers can now rely on a single, streamlined experience—from booking to baggage claim.
flydubai joins Aegean, ITA, Air China, China Eastern and several other leading airlines across Germany, Italy, Greece, Spain, Vietnam and China to strengthen its global travel network and connect passengers to over 120 destinations worldwide. This strategic expansion aims to enhance international connectivity, making it easier for travellers to explore new routes and enjoy seamless journeys through Dubai’s growing aviation hub.
These interline partnerships mark another milestone in flydubai’s mission to connect the world through Dubai, reaffirming its role as a bridge between East and West and shaping the next chapter in global aviation.
